How's this for a biatch ... last week I came home to a floor soaked in water. After exhaustive tracing I realized it was the NEW water heater. None of my fitting were leaking, nor was the tank leaking from the bottom. Once I open the service panel, I hit in the head with warm water. It was leaking from behind the thermostat control on the top panel ... grrr

Dam thing was less than 3 months old and failed ...

Now after replacing for the 3rd time I can report that it takes 20 minutes for the water to heat up to shower temperature. SO when working properly, which it now is, these things are a marvel ...
